The award is given to Eagle Scouts who, after 25 years, distinguished themselves in their life work and who have shared their talents with their communities on a voluntary basis. Dillon received the award Monday during the Food Marketing Institute’s Mid-Winter Conference in Phoenix.

“I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition,” Dillon said in a news release. “Scouting has meant a great deal in my life. It teaches us how to be better leaders and how to be good followers – both of which are necessary skills to be successful in almost any endeavor. I am grateful to the Boy Scouts of America for helping to set a tremendous foundation in my life and for helping so many young men across America do the same.”

The award was established in 1969. Since then, 1,850 nominations have been approved.
